Now it's even more absurd. Some fool at Track and Field News sets date after almost every university has started up so a college freshman can still set the highschool mile record and claim a sub 4. Accept what you want, but if you didn't break 4 while attending highschool, you didn't break 4 in highschool!
You know HS nationals is about a 4-6 weeks after high school seniors have graduated. Also, most state meets are after graduation.
Lastly, it’s nothing new about the date. Jim Ryun set his HS record on June 27th, 1965.
